Implicit Rust TUI and Ratatui skill. Use for terminal UIs, ratatui widgets and layouts, crossterm or termion event loops, terminal rendering architecture, async input, app state machines, keybindings, terminal UX, snapshot tests, and TUI performance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Rust TUI Ratatui Build terminal applications with clear state ownership, predictable rendering, responsive input, and testable UI contracts. ## Operating Model 1. Identify whether the app is a true TUI, a CLI with occasional prompts, or a daemon dashboard. Use Ratatui only when persistent terminal state and interactive views are justified. 2. Keep rendering pure: widgets read immutable view models and write to frames. Event handlers mutate application state through explicit actions. 3. Use an app/event/action/update/render shape for nontrivial TUIs. Avoid spreading terminal I/O across widgets. 4. Treat terminal cleanup as reliability-critical. Restore raw mode and alternate screen on all normal and error exits. 5. Preserve accessibility of terminal UX: discoverable keybindings, no required color-only state, clear focus, and deterministic fallback for narrow terminals. ## Reference Map - `references/ratatui-app-architecture.md` for app structure, state machines, view models, layout, widgets, and theme ownership. - `references/events-async-terminal.md` for crossterm, async tasks, cancellation, terminal restoration, and resize handling. …

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/rust-tui-ratatui@sha256:369965b706d7e8ddThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260508.73f7c45, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
